Chapter 2070 I also think I've lost my mind, beyond redemption.
Luo You poured Shi Xu another cup of tea, then made an excuse to leave, leaving the two young people alone.
Zhang Ran looked at Shi Xu speechlessly, "You still need to go on blind dates?" Back in school, there were plenty of girls who actively pursued Shi Xu, and she had witnessed several instances of girls chasing after him.
Shi Xu smiled and said, "It's not necessary, but since it's you, I came."
Zhang Ran raised an eyebrow slightly. "From what I'm saying, you like me?"
"Can't I like you?" Shi Xu asked with a smile.
Zhang Ran scoffed, "Initially, we partnered to start a game company. You liked Qiao Xi and pursued her relentlessly, but when you couldn't win her over, you secretly opened a branch office and stole my company's games..."
"It's a misunderstanding." Shi Xu, who was about to listen to her continue, immediately interrupted and corrected her. "I already explained it to you back then." She pointed to her head. "You hit me on the head with a bottle, and I still have the scar." However, it was covered by her hair and could not be seen. If you parted her hair, you would find that the scar was completely barren.
"That's what you deserve." Zhang Ran felt no remorse whatsoever. On the contrary, she felt that she hadn't hit him hard enough back then, otherwise how would this man dare to say that he liked her?
Shi Xu saw through her thoughts at a glance and confessed earnestly again: "I did like Qiao Xi back then, and I pursued her for half a year. She rejected me, so I gave up. As you know, I haven't pursued anyone else in the years since, because I fell in love with you."
Zhang Ran was puzzled, "What do you love about me?" Although she and Shi Xu graduated from the same school, their relationship could only be described as business partners. They rarely met or had much contact, so they were only slightly better than strangers.
Shi Xu smiled wryly, rubbing his face vigorously, somewhat embarrassed. "I might be a bit of a masochist. The first time you hit me with a bottle, I became interested in you."
He had a happy childhood, and no one ever laid a finger on him. Even at school, he was a leader, stirring up trouble.
After being cracked open on the head for the first time, he began to pay close attention to Zhang Ran. The more time he spent with her, the more charming he found her.
In particular, when they were kidnapped by robbers, Zhang Ran pretended to faint but decisively knocked out the robbers, calmly hid Qiao Xi with miscellaneous items, and even left the pistol to her.
Although he didn't care whether the man lived or died, his courage and composure fascinated him even more.
Zhang Ran looked at him with a "you're a pervert" gaze. "If someone hits me, I'll want to tear them to pieces. How could you fall in love with the person who hit you? If you're crazy, go get your head checked. Don't get involved with me."
Chronology: "...I also think I've lost my mind, beyond redemption." If someone else hits him, he really wants to kill them, but when it's Zhang Ran in front of him, just thinking about it excites him.
Hiding behind the wall, Luo Youge saw the two chatting happily and assumed that things had gone well, so he happily went to the kitchen to get busy.
"I'm getting engaged in two days. You're welcome to come." Zhang Ran clearly rejected Shi Xu's confession.
Shi Xu asked dejectedly, "Are you really going to get engaged to the bodyguard? I don't believe you like him." Having known her for so long, he'd never seen Zhang Ran truly like anyone. If she didn't like him, why couldn't she marry him?
"I don't like him, but that doesn't stop me from getting engaged to him." She's engaged to Xie Wei, so she can dump him anytime. But if she gets involved with the man in front of her, it won't be so easy to get rid of him.
Shi Xu felt a lump in her throat, a tightness in her chest: "...I wish you happiness."
